Arteta Makes Decision On Player That Will Replace Aubameyang

According to Spanish newspaper, Sport, Arteta will make Jovic to lead the attack line for Arsenal if Aubameyang eventually leaves the North London club this summer transfer window.

Anaedoonline.com had reported that Aubameyang is facing an uncertain future at Arsenal.

Aubameyang’s current deal at the Gunners will run out in the summer of 2021.

The Gabon international has drawn the interest of Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan in recent weeks.

The former Dortmund striker has scored 20 goals in 32 appearances for Arteta’s side so far this season.

Anaedoonline.com reported that Pierre-Emerick Emiliano François Aubameyang has proved himself useful to the Arsenal attack despite Alexandre Lacazette. His ability to find himself in the right place at the right time makes the attack efficient.

His pace and tenacity make the Gunners much more lethal on the counter-attack. And he has the technical quality to combine with the likes of Lacazette and Mesut Ozil in the final third–making it difficult for the opposition to keep tabs on him.

From a sporting perspective, Aubameyang’s departure would create a huge void in the offensive department. And given how quickly he had integrated himself into English football, it will be difficult finding a suitable replacement. Hence, it would only drag Arsenal into further mediocrity.

But, the north London giants are powerless, should Aubameyang reject a potential contract extension. A lot, however, could depend on how Arsenal fare during the second half of the campaign, knowing a Champions League finish could significantly boost the chances of them keeping hold of their attacking superstar.
